Ireland is a heavy place. It’s typically not on the average person’s surf radar for several understandable reasons. First off, the region is open to some ruthless North Atlantic swells. Make sure to leave your sunscreen and boardies at home when traveling here because it’s colder than a witch’s tits. In point of fact, you may see a few White Walkers cruising around town. Stay away from them after they’ve had a few pints of Guinness—they’re typically very temperamental.
Recently, Taylor Knox and musical virtuoso Ben Howard traveled to the dark, moody Emerald Isle to have a good time and throw back a few pints of Irish champagne. Surprisingly, the two were met with a few incredible days of surf that will most definitely change a lot of people’s minds about surfing in Ireland.
